Wow I Need New Clothes..I love it!!
I am so grateful I had the opportunity to have this surgery! I have lost 50 lbs since June 20th yipee!!!! hang in there newly post op folks I was where you are a few months ago and yes post op is hard and can be painful. I believe the pain, fear and facing the unknown was all worth it!!
I am so excited when I walk into stores and realize I can fit the clothing. Wed. I bought my first outfit from Ann Taylor. Size 12 pants (curvy fit) and a medium sweater top. I honestly could not believe it. First I tried on the sixteen pants and realized ...they are to big!!
Really I do no to want to buy anything because I am still loosing rapidly. However, I really have nothing that fits anymore for fall to wear to work. I have to admit even if buy yourself something new while you are still loosing it is kind of a treat because we deserve to see ourselves in clothing that months ago we could not even fit.
Again, I love it!!!

Do you have charity shops over there, ie. shops where people donate their unwanted items to be sold to raise money for a certain charity. I used to be the manager of a Cancer Research Campaign shop before I had the children and some of the stuff we used to get given was fantastic. I love spending an afternoon browsing around charity shops for a bargain. Unfortunatley you never get much in very large sizes and most of what you do get is worn to death cause its hard to find if you know what I mean. I see some gorgeous small size clothes that I wish I could buy so when I've had my op you'll know where to find me Great for the inbetween times when you don't want to spend loads of money on expensive clothes that wont fit you a couple of months down the line.
